I saw the video and kind of failed to notice the harassment part in it, looked like an everyday day normal routine as the female didn't budge an inch nor showed any reactions. If she didn't react on account of intimidation then I can't say anything.

@Raza, Mr. Raza, " I saw the video and kind of failed to notice the harassment part in it, looked like an everyday day normal routine as the female didn't budge an inch nor showed any reactions. If she didn't react on account of intimidation then I can't say anything. " As you mentioned that you have seen the video and the lady didn't take any distance then this isn't harassment.
